Take Off Holiday Weight with CoolSculpting

The holiday period is typically the time when many women and men will tend to relax their diet and exercise efforts and may put on extra pounds of weight. However, it is possible to restore a leaner figure by reducing excess fat tissue with CoolSculpting procedure.

CoolSculpting is a popular, FDA cleared procedure that can treat the unsightly fat bulges in a completely non-invasive manner, and enhance the body contours in specific areas. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides CoolSculpting to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and surrounding locations.

How does it Work?

CoolSculpting procedure is based on the revolutionary cryolipolysis technique, which was created by Harvard scientists. The procedure is designed to freeze the fat off by treating the affected areas through a unique cooling process. The cold energy permanently destroys the unwanted fat cells, leaving behind more desirable and sculpted contours.

The procedure can address multiple areas, and involves a few treatment sessions of about 35 to 40 minutes each. The patient can shed off their excess holiday fat without any cuts, incisions, needles, or medications. No anesthesia is involved, and the patient does not have to go through any pain or downtime. Patients can simply resume their normal routine after the treatment.

Fat Elimination

The CoolSculpting procedure is aimed at eliminating the targeted fat cells without causing any damage to the healthy surrounding tissue. During the treatment, about 20 percent of the fat cells are killed. The fat released through these cells gets gradually absorbed in the body, and improved contours will develop over several weeks in a natural looking manner.

CoolSculpting will shrink or sculpt the stubborn fat tissue areas and help the patient to lose fat, but it is not a weight loss procedure. The patient should be prepared to maintain a balanced diet and a regular exercise regiment following the treatment in order to extend the benefits of the treatment for a long time. Dr. Motykie receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and nearby areas for CoolSculpting treatment.

Innovations in CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting now offers a new 3-in-1 CoolAdvantage applicator, which can treat a larger surface area in one time and deliver colder temperatures for quick action. This innovation has reduced the treatment time of one CoolSculpting session nearly by half.

Zeltiq, the manufacturer of CoolSculpting device, has now also introduced CoolMini, which is another FDA cleared device working on the same principle as CoolSculpting. CoolMini is designed to reduce fat in hard to reach areas such as below the chin, and creates similar body contouring results as CoolSculpting.

Safety Aspects

CoolSculpting is one of the safest body contouring procedures, even among various non-surgical techniques. The procedure has been successfully performed hundreds of thousands of times, with very high levels of safety compared to other fat reduction procedures.

Unlike most other heat-based non-surgical fat reduction procedures, CoolSculpting uses a gentle cooling process, which causes no harm to the surrounding body areas or the outer skin layers. It is widely chosen today for reduction of holiday fat in a quick and easy manner.
